Living in the Mountain’s Shadow: The Character of Mt. Olympus

Mt. Olympus yards are anything but generic. Most properties deal with elevation changes, rocky soils, mature tree canopies, and long retaining systems built from massive boulders—just like the ones many of us grew up climbing on.

Because of this, Site Preparation in the Mt. Olympus neighborhood often includes:

• Stabilizing and refreshing existing boulder walls or terraces
• Creating functional outdoor spaces on sloped ground
• Landscape Design-driven designs that preserve views toward the peak
• Water-wise planting that handles wind, heat, and cold pockets
• Irrigation adjustments for uphill/downhill pressure differences
• Mountain-weather maintenance plans to keep spaces clean year-round

Our approach emphasizes bothstructureandcomfort—ensuring your outdoor space handles the terrain while still feeling inviting.

Before beauty comes a clean slate. Our crews use the right tools—mini‑excavators, skid‑steers and haul‑off equipment—to remove old patios, walls, turf and other legacy elements quickly and safely. Proper demolition clears the way for a fresh design while protecting surrounding structures and plantings.

Good landscapes start with solid groundwork. We shape Mount Olympus terrain to the correct elevations and slopes, controlling drainage and preventing erosion. Using compact loaders and laser levels, our technicians sculpt soil, move boulders and compact subgrades so water flows away from foundations and plant roots.

Once demolition and grading are complete, the job isn’t done until the site is clean. We haul away concrete, soil and green waste, recycle what we can and leave your Mount Olympus property ready for the next phase of work. Proper cleanup protects surrounding plants and structures and ensures a smooth transition to irrigation, hardscapes or planting.
